Barafu Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 A week ago I added the following extras to SMB configuration [global] case sensitive = true default case = lower preserve case = true short preserve case = true It gave me bigger speed up than installing more RAM, cache disk and replacing slowest drive, all combined. In fact, write speed for small files increased more than 10x times. I keep big collections of < 1Mb files on it. Dixi. 1 Quote Link to comment
TSM Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I may try this when I get home today. I wonder why that would be? Quote Link to comment
Barafu Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) Because Windows does not allow files 'vodka' and 'VoDka' in one folder, but Linux does. So, every time a file is sent to NAS, Samba stupidly compares its name to *everything* to make sure there are no collisions. This disables it.

MWDK Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 any downsides of this? Quote Link to comment
Barafu Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 Well, if you use Linux or Mac client to put files with identical names on the share, then try to work with them from Windows client, only the moon spirits can tell what would happen. Quote Link to comment
